What's happening is that you've set a breakpoint on exit, even though you
aren't using main. If you don't supply a main(), a default one is created
that just exits immediately - this allows eCos tests to continue working.
Normally this doesn't matter, since the only time you'll notice is if you
set a breakpoint on exit :-). You can remove the calling of main entirely
by removing the libc_startup package from your configuration. This will
also remove exit()!
